Oodles of noodles, gallons of garlic and more pants!
A big Pompey welcome to our two new recruits tonight - Bev and Tim. Give them some support on their GoodGym pages.
Tonight we visited a new task - helping sort out the debris left behind by uni students who have left the city for the summer. We moved all the belongings and sorted through them so that local charities can benefit: food will go to the foodbank; clothes to a charity shop and bedding to the animal shelter. Thanks to Sophie for giving us this task. There was plenty to sort out and loads of stairs to climb. We also had a challenge of how many GoodGymers you can fit in a lift & after the task we had a little look around the accommodation - great views from the top and views of a different kind in the cinema room.
This week there is an extra chance to do good....
On Saturday you can up your good deeds tally by helping Ickle Pickles set up at their family fun day. Please sign up here if you are intending to go and meet Shakira there so she can collect names for me. Alternatively, if you are free around 3:30, you can help pack up after the fun has finished! Sign up here for that one and find Mel to make sure you get your good deed counted!
Next week we are off to Hilsea Lido again. Meeting at Fratton as normal. As last time, runners who want a slightly slower pace will leave slightly early at 6:20. Those of you who ran here a few weeks ago know how grateful they are of our help and it's a lovely place to visit in the summer!
Hope to see you next Wednesday, have a good week till then.
